European AI chatbots are general-purpose assistants from companies headquartered in Europe. They answer questions, draft and translate text, summarise documents and help with code, much like ChatGPT. Four are listed here: Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat) from Paris, Euria from Infomaniak and Lumo from Proton, both Swiss, and Ecosia AI Chat from Berlin. Anyone looking for a ChatGPT alternative will find the same assistants sorted by task on the page European alternatives to ChatGPT.

What makes an AI chatbot European?

The criterion on this site is the headquarters of the company behind the product, not the origin of the model or the server location. Of the four assistants only Mistral develops its own language models. Euria and Lumo run open-source models on European infrastructure, and Ecosia AI Chat forwards requests to Mistral. For privacy, the provider's hosting and data policy count most. The guide European AI: chatbots, language models and AI companies from Europe explains the differences in more detail.

Which European AI chatbot for what?

  • Everyday questions, writing, research and code: Mistral Vibe has the widest feature set.
  • Sensitive questions and documents: Lumo and Euria, which make the strongest privacy statements. These are provider statements, not independent audits.
  • Explanations next to normal web search: Ecosia AI Chat, started from the search bar.

Limits to keep in mind

European assistants do not match ChatGPT in every function. Euria and Lumo are leaner, free plans are limited by quotas, and answers from any chatbot can be wrong. Customer-facing bots for websites are a separate category: European customer service chatbots.
